Hands Down Tab

I'm sick of everyone being stupid about this tab.  It's a pretty easy song once
you just practice it for a while.  The into is a little tricky, but just use your
pinky a lot on that 4th fret of the D string.  You'll see what i mean.  Anyway,
this is the real way to play it, if you don't believe me, go to rollingstone.com,
look through their video archives, and there is a video of just chris playing
this song all by himself in a rollingstone.com exclusive video where you can see
that i am right.  have fun and keep bein dashboard fans!
